I never meant to be back here, never meant to start cutting again, but I did. It’s surprising the temptation a small pocket knife can bring in the right mood. It’s amazingly sharp too. The little droplets of blood just bead up like dewdrops with a small scratch. I’m too much of a coward to try anything deeper. It does feel calming. I’m not even going to think about how to explain them to anyone just yet. With any luck, the weather will stay cold and I won’t have to.

  Of course, they would know. She pushed that thought from her mind. After five years of experience with crystals, she knew what crystals could and could not sense. It was possible […]
I’ve never done this before, so please bear with me.
I don’t really know what’s wrong with me. I have a great life, I’m going to a great college, and I have a lot of wonderful friends. And yet…there’s something missing somehow, maybe it’s me.
All my life I’ve had a hard time with making friends, partly because my family moved every two years or so. But the truth is, I’m not an easy person to know. I’m not comfortable around strangers, and I never know what to say. What makes this worse is I have ADD, but I’m not hyperactive. I just can’t concentrate on anything, […]
